In general it has been quite a peaceful period where there have been no reported issues in Edington, Heywood, Hawkeridge or Coulston.
There does still seem to be an issue with Quad Bikes and other off road type vehicles riding/driving where they are not allowed to be. The NPT did undertake a patrol with our colleagues from Wiltshire Council and this will continue.
Also the NPT are appealing to residents to ensure the secure their vehicles, especially Land Rovers, and garden tools as over the Force area these are the items of choice for offenders. Please mark all your property and do not leave valuables in vehicles overnight.
